Until recently, THQ had been developing a massively multiplayer online game based on Warhammer 40,000 (not to be confused with the existing MMOG based on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay). Called Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium, the game has taken a dramatically altered path. Rather than taking the form of an MMOG, Dark Millennium will include both a single player campaign and multiplayer experience (the details of which are not yet clear). Thanks to this new direction, THQ will fire 79 full-time employees from its Austin, Texas Vigil Games studio and 39 full-time employees from its Vancouver, Canada Relic Entertainment office (presumably along with plenty of contract labor).
